GLASS Baltimore, Inc. shows its dedication to the safety, and sustainability of the Transgender community of Baltimore , by using advocacy and education to garner support and allies from all walks of life.   Our mission is...

 

 " to insure the safe and impartial passage of Transgender people into mainstream society through a network of educational, advocacy, housing, employment services and life skills and social support services."

 

IMAGINE……  

                                -   That you are COMPLETELY INVISIBLE to everyone you ever loved or loved you;

-   Strangers afraid to speak to you;

-    Being a homeless 14 year old child having no other choice but to sell your body daily to make money to live in a motel room with 8 to 12 other people;

-  Being shot at, tortured, battered and beaten, and murdered and no one cares;

-  That your very own family will not speak to you or even LOOK at you….

                                                                     …. because you are Transgender.

 

These factors are true for thousands of people in Baltimore.  Every year new transgender youth are found on the streets of Baltimore; alienated from their families, addicted to substances, involved in sex work, dying from disease due to lack of medical care with no effective or competent options for treatment, recovery or refuge. GLASS Baltimore, Inc seeks to advocate for transgender people, educate the public about transgender issues and provide culturally competent services that will afford trangender persons in Baltimore an optimum quality of life.
